Hazardous Location AC Motors

Available3 products
Hazardous location AC motors are for use in areas where ignition is possible due to the presence of hazardous vapors or combustible dusts. They come with sturdy enclosures since these AC motors have carbon brushes that produce some sparking requiring the enclosures to be built with thicker walls and longer flanges where the end bells and the frame meet. The additional strength allows the motor's enclosure to handle the pressure from an internal ignition and prevent flames from spreading. Motors have field wiring that must be completed in a separate or attached wiring compartment that has the same hazardous location class and group standards as the motor. They are commonly used in chemical plants, flour mills, grain elevators, oil refineries, paint shops, petroleum storage areas, and in automotive and manufacturing applications.

Class 1 C,D / 2 F,G 3-Phase Hazardous Location AC Motors

Class 1 C,D / 2 F,G 3-Phase Hazardous Location AC Motors
Class 1 C, D / 2 F, G three-phase hazardous location AC motors don't require starting capacitors, run capacitors, or centrifugal starting switches that can wear out and fail. They operate with a higher torque and greater efficiency than single-phase hazardous location motors of the same HP, rpm, and frame size. These motors are for use in environments where flammable gas or vapor such as ethylene, propane, or methane are present. They are also used in areas where combustible dust such as carbon black, coke, charcoal, flour, starch, or grain dust is present.
